Chapter 5 Awake
She took a deep breath, walked to the table without hesitation, and picked up the bowl of soup.

He lost his mother at the age of ten, and was raised by his stepmother. After suffering a lot, he gained a reputation for being rude; at the age of 13, he met He Runnian, and then his heart fell on him.

She, Gu Chongyang, has been like this all her life...

Gu Chongyang closed her eyes obediently, and a crystal clear tear slipped from her eyes.Tears poured into the soup, and the smell of heartbroken grass came over my face.

The medicine bowl was brought to her lips, Gu Chongyang stopped suddenly, and she raised her head to look at Nanny Cha.

not good!Nanny Cha's heart skipped a beat!
Life is at stake, this lady might not accept her fate so easily, if she yelled, she might not be able to restrain her by herself.

With her heart in suspense, Nanny Cha moved towards the door without a trace.

Seeing her defensive posture, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but sneer.

"Mother Cha, let me ask you one last question." Gu Chongyang said, "If I die, what will the He family plan to say to my father?"

She is dead, if Chai Xiyue wants to restore justice, her father must write a contract.

I don't know what will happen to my father when he hears the news of her death?It should be free, right?After all, if she was alive, her father might also be implicated.Others will definitely keep his father at a respectful distance. Maybe the emperor will demote his father's official position because of his anger. He finally became Xiao Jiuqing, but he can't be implicated because of himself.

From this point of view, everyone was happy when he died.

The He family will be satisfied, Chai Xiyue will be happy, and the stepmother will be satisfied...

I wonder if my father will be sad?She is such an unfilial girl!She always brings trouble to her father, no wonder her father doesn't like her.

But after all, she is the father's biological daughter. If she dies, wouldn't the father feel a little bit sad?She doesn't expect him to uphold justice for herself, can't he even ask why?Would he agree to Chai Xiyue's rectification without saying a word?

"Ma'am." Nanny Cha breathed a sigh of relief almost invisibly, and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Chai will always be the aunt of the He family. The new mistress has already been chosen, and she is a distant relative of Mrs. Miss, the most gentle and virtuous, dignified and generous, definitely won't wrong the young master."

"So that's how it is!" Gu Chongyang smiled miserably, unable to tell whether it was clear or hopeless, he raised his head and drank the bowl of heartbroken grass in one gulp.

Nanny Cha originally thought it would take a lot of talking, but she didn't expect her to be so decisive, so she was dumbfounded at the time.

Gu Chongyang only felt that her heart was burning like fire, her stomach hurt like twisting, and pain that she had never experienced before swept her whole body.

The headache was like a crack, and there was a buzzing in his head.

The severe pain made her unable to stand, and she threw herself heavily on the table like a jade falling down the mountain.The blue and white porcelain tea set on the table was pushed down and fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.

It was her favorite set of tea sets, and it was a dowry bought by her uncle.

It's a pity that she can't care about these now.

Gu Chongyang coughed for a while, and bright red blood rushed out of her mouth, stinging her eyes.

She raised her head with difficulty, only to see that Nanny Cha's face was blue, and she looked at herself in horror, opening and closing her mouth to say something, but she couldn't hear a word.

At this moment, Nanny Zha's face was already like a candle in the wind, suddenly far away, now near, now big and now small, now bright and now extinguished...

It turns out that this is the taste of death.

She tried hard to open her eyes wide, but found that her eyelids were as heavy as a thousand catties, and she couldn't open them no matter what.

My throat was also burning and hurting badly.

In a daze, Gu Chongyang heard a voice ringing in his ears.

"How's Miss Si?" a voice asked.

The other person replied, respectfully and carefully: "I just broke out in a sweat, the fever has subsided, and my complexion is much better than before."

"Then why haven't you woke up yet?" The person who asked the question was even more worried: "Miss is not well yet, Madam fell ill again, what should I do!"

"Don't worry, Ma'am, the lady's fever has subsided, and it won't be long before she recovers." The voice became more gentle and kind: "The madam is so worried about the miss that she fell ill. When the miss is well, the madam's illness We're halfway there too."

"I hope so."

When the two asked and answered, they both deliberately lowered their voices.

Gu Chongyang felt that their voices were very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard them.

She struggled to open her eyes, and a bright light pierced her so that she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to cover it.

A surprised and joyful voice came from beside my ear: "Mommy, Fourth Miss is awake, Fourth Miss is awake."

Two young girls and an old mother immediately surrounded her, and the old mother was in tears: "Amitabha, Fourth Miss finally woke up."

Gu Chongyang stared dumbfounded.

The two young girls were Qing Zhi and Lu Wu who had accompanied her since she was a child, and her stepmother sent them off to marry soon after she came in.

The stepmother regarded Gu Chongyang as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. In order to establish her prestige, she naturally would not let the maids around Gu Chongyang marry into a good family.

Qingzhi died of dystocia not long after she got married, and Luwu's life was not easy.

By the time Gu Chongyang arrived at his uncle's house and could make decisions for himself, Luwu was already plagued by many diseases and died soon.After Luwu's death, Gu Chongyang left her daughter Shuang'er to serve by her side. When Gu Chongyang drank the heartbroken grass brought by Mother Cha, Shuang'er was still distributing medicine to the tenants.

But Qing Zhi and Lu Wu in front of them are both very young, and Lu Wu is about the same age as Shuang'er, and they can pinch water out of water.

As for the elderly mother, Gu Chongyang was even more familiar with it.

She is the wet nurse of Gu Chongyang's mother, Nurse Wu. She married her mother from the Shen family in Nanjing to the Gu family in Beijing. She is the No. 1 by her mother's side.

After her mother died of illness, Nanny Wu hanged herself.

It is obvious that someone who has already died, how can he stand in front of him alive?
This is where?What happened?

She clearly remembered that she drank that bowl of poisonous soup in Liangxiang Farm.

The burning pain in her throat reminded her of what happened in the farm before. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

She watched in a daze as Nanny Wu brought over the tea and handed it to her lips.

"Miss Si, why are you feeling uncomfortable and tell the nanny?"

The smile on Madam Wu's face was as amiable as usual.

But isn't Nanny Wu already dead?
wrong!

Gu Chongyang reacted immediately.

Not only Nanny Wu, but even she herself is dead.

What I saw was not a human being, it must be the souls of Nanny Wu, Qingzhi and Luwu, they came to pick me up.

When this thought came up, Gu Chongyang immediately sat up: "Qingzhi, Luwu, and Nanny Wu, it's been so many years, why haven't you been reincarnated yet?"

Just now they said madam, doesn't that mean that mother is with them too?
Thinking of this, Gu Chongyang felt even more joyful: "Are you with my mother? Did my mother ask you to pick me up? Is my mother okay? Why isn't she here?"

Thinking of being able to reunite with his mother, Gu Chongyang crackled like pouring beans.

She looked at Nanny Wu and the others expectantly, hoping that they would give her an answer soon.

But Qing Zhi and Lu Wu were shocked, they looked at themselves as if they had seen a ghost, Gu Chongyang was about to ask what was wrong, but saw her legs were weak, and she sat down on the ground with a plop.

Gu Chongyang turned to look at Nanny Wu.

Nanny Wu looked at her with a face full of horror, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of porcelain cracking.

Gu Chongyang was puzzled, did he say something wrong?

"Nurse!" Qingzhi's voice was a bit sharp: "What's wrong with Fourth Miss? Is... Did you run into a ghost?"

While speaking, she had already got up from the ground and grabbed Nanny Wu's arm.Because she was too shocked, she unconsciously used a lot of strength in her hand, which hurt Madam Wu's arm.

"Nurse, what's the matter with you?" Gu Chongyang looked confused, his big eyes were full of doubts.She was clearly that naive little girl who didn't know much about the world.Where is the weirdness just now?

Qingzhi was about to speak, but Nanny Wu walked up to Gu Chongyang first, and grabbed Gu Chongyang's hand, half concealing and half comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, Fourth Miss was seriously ill, and now she just recovered, You should have a good rest, you don't think about anything. With Mammy here, the lady will be all right."

The pity in Madam Wu's eyes, the wrinkles on her face, the white hair on her temples, and the veins on her azurite shirt are all so clear.

What's the matter?Where are you?
Gu Chongyang had many clues in his mind, but he couldn't grasp them.

This feeling made her anxious, scared, and worried.

Nanny Wu patted her head lightly, and asked her softly, "Miss, does your head still hurt? Is your throat dry? Do you want to drink water?"

Nanny Wu spoke to herself as if coaxing a child, but Gu Chongyang couldn't care less at the moment, her mind was occupied by thousands of thoughts, she just shook her head numbly, then nodded for a moment: "Mommy, I don't have a headache anymore, but my throat is very dry. Pour me a cup of tea."

Hearing what she said, Mammy Wu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a reassuring smile on her face: "Mommy, pour tea for Miss."

As she said, Nanny Wu really went to the table to pour tea, took a spoon, and wanted to feed Gu Chongyang.

Gu Chongyang took it with both hands, smiled at Madam Wu, said "Thank you", and then drank it in small sips.

Her well-behaved and sensible behavior made Mammy Wu feel astonished, and soon suppressed it.

After Gu Chongyang finished drinking the water, Nanny Wu asked Gu Chongyang if he was hungry, if he wanted to eat, and if he felt uncomfortable.

Gu Chongyang said that he was not hungry or uncomfortable, but he was a little tired and wanted to rest for a while by himself.

Nanny Wu then ordered Qing Zhi and Lu Wu to clean up the fragments of teacups and tea leaves on the ground, and then personally helped Gu Chongyang to sleep, tucked her quilt, and watched her fall asleep before leading Qing Zhi, Lu Wu tiptoed back down.

The room was very quiet, and Gu Chongyang, who was lying on the bed and already asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
